[Nix-dev] Building Elm with Nix?

Hi everyone, Does anyone have a system worked out for building Elm projects and managing their dependencies with Nix? It looks like an elmWithPackages was developed in 2013, http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.elm.general/648, but it doesn't seem to have been merged. Cheers, Anand

Re: [Nix-dev] On nixpkgs and reasonable code size

We have nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/upstream-updater. I think it's a tool that takes metadata from a package to find updates. But it's used by 8 packages tops and it's doc is in doc/old/update-upstream-data.txt. Somewhere we also have a tool that tracks CVEs against packages with a heuristic but I

[Nix-dev] Continuous Integration

As everyone knows, while updates to nixpkgs roll in 'round the clock, the unstable channels are usually stuck for days or weeks before lurching forward. In other words, we don't do continuous integration. This does not seem sustainable as nixpkgs grows larger and changes more rapidly. When I

Related to the discussion, apparently even Debian has trouble keeping-up with security updates: https://statuscode.ch/2016/02/distribution-packages-considered-insecure/ It's not a simple problem for sure. On Mon, 22 Feb 2016 at 09:35 Adrien Devresse wrote: > I think the inflow

I have a tentative branch that you can steal. It compiles but I haven't tried to run it yet: https://github.com/zimbatm/nixpkgs/tree/hydra-module . It's really cool what you can do with release.nix but it's also hard to convert into a standard mkDerivation so I'm not sure I got all the

Thank you Mathnerd, you're a champ! I do like Roland's unicode fonts, but at this point this is just about aesthetics, those are certainly enough to get started. Those are some obscure languages standing in the way of full compliance, unfortunately we will have to hope someone with expertise in
